Upledger-Trained in Land O' Lakes
Cranial Sacral Therapy in Land O' Lakes, FL
A gentle, light-touch approach with Dr. Crystal Corona to release deep tension, calm the nervous system, and help your whole body feel more at ease.
Cranial sacral therapy is one of the gentlest forms of hands-on care, so light it's often compared to the weight of a nickel resting on the skin. At Grounded Wellness Chiropractic, Dr. Crystal Corona uses it to help the body let go of held tension and return to a calmer, more balanced state.
What Is Cranial Sacral Therapy?
Cranial sacral therapy focuses on the craniosacral system, the soft membranes and fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord, from the bones of the skull down to the sacrum at the base of the spine. Using a light, listening touch, Dr. Corona evaluates the subtle rhythm of this system and gently releases areas of restriction. By easing tension around the central nervous system, the body is better able to self-regulate, relax, and heal.
Trained Through the Upledger Institute
Dr. Crystal Corona is trained in cranial sacral therapy through the Upledger Institute, the organization founded by Dr. John Upledger that developed and continues to advance this work. That training shapes how she practices: slow, attentive, and led by what your body is telling her, never forced. It's a natural extension of the gentle, whole-person philosophy she brings to every patient at Grounded Wellness.
Additional Training
Dr. Corona has completed specialized training with Lori Hendrickson, CST, in Infant Craniosacral Protocol & Fascia Release Techniques.
What It Can Help With

- Tension headaches & migraines
- Neck & jaw (TMJ) tension
- Stress & nervous-system overwhelm
- Sleep difficulties
- Postural strain
- General tension & tightness
What a Session Feels Like
You stay fully clothed and simply rest while Dr. Corona places her hands lightly on different areas, often the head, spine, and sacrum. There's no cracking, twisting, or forceful pressure.
- A calm, unhurried evaluation of the craniosacral rhythm
- Light-touch holds to release areas of restriction
- A deeply relaxing, soothing experience
- Care paced entirely to your comfort
Many people feel relaxed, lighter, or noticeably calmer afterward, though everyone's experience is their own.
The Benefits
Eases tension
Gentle release of restriction around the head, neck, and spine helps the body let go of tension it's been holding onto.
Calms the nervous system
By supporting the system around the brain and spinal cord, cranial sacral therapy encourages a shift toward rest, calm, and balance.
Supports natural healing
When the nervous system settles, the body is better able to self-regulate and recover the way it's designed to.
Gentle for everyone
Its feather-light touch makes it one of the most comfortable, accessible forms of care, suitable across many stages of life.
Who It's For
Because it's so gentle, cranial sacral therapy can be a good fit for many people, from adults carrying stress and tension to those who simply find more forceful techniques uncomfortable. It pairs beautifully with Dr. Corona's chiropractic care and her work in pediatric and prenatal wellness, offering a soft, supportive option within a whole-family approach to care.
